Super great service, Joe and front desk was always so helpful and nice! Also large rooms and clean space!

Lived here for two semesters & the customer service was awful throughout the period. The place is kept up nice but they take every short cut possible. The building was cheaply built & the windows have cracked near the frames causing them to freeze unbelievably..
